Abstract
During a routine dissection of an adult male cadaver for academic purpose two Profunda Femoris Arteries (PFA) were seen arising from Femoral Artery (FA). Both were following an expected course. Double PFA is an extremely rare anatomical variation, only a few such cases are reported. The two PFA, upper and lower were found to be arising 2 cm and 5 cm from Mid Inguinal Point (MIP) respectively. A thorough knowledge of variations of PFA is of great importance to avoid complications during surgical procedures. The variations in PFA and its branches are very common and largely associated with one another. The PFA has an important role in collateral blood flow in atherosclerotic occlusive disease. The common femoral artery is frequently accessed by radiologists and surgeons and is easily accessible to catheterization. Knowledge of the Anatomy and variations in PFA is very important for surgeons to avoid any iatrogenic injury to the patient.
